No one can hear you in space! ITV to ‘send celebrities to Mars’ for new reality series where they ‘live on a simulated barren planet’
ITV is reportedly planning to send celebrities into space for a new reality TV series called Stars in Mars.
Contestants on the show will dress up as astronauts in spacesuits and live in a space station simulation of the Red Planet – and they’ll have to endure the harsh conditions of living in a spacecraft.
Due to the extreme environments of space, the stars will live in microgravity and learn how to perform everyday tasks such as eating, drinking, exercising and sleeping while floating in a makeshift orbiter.
According to The sunan insider has described that Stars In Mars is currently being pre-produced by the creators of Britain’s Got Talent, Thames TV, and will hit our screens next year.
Celebrities will face challenges and compete against each other similar to the bush tucker trials of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! hoping to be crowned the “brightest star in the galaxy.”

The source said, “This show is wacky and different – audiences have never seen anything like it. It will be challenging and some will struggle with the conditions.
“The celebrities will live, sleep and eat together — and those who don’t cut the mustard will be voted out.
‘Talent bosses are currently sparring for a presenter and celebrities to participate.’
Their endurance is really put to the test – The European Space Agency describes space as ‘one of the most extreme environments imaginable’.
While it’s clear that the celebs will only be in a spacecraft simulation, their time is likely only made more difficult by going head-to-head in trials and tests thrown throughout the series.
To make things even more exciting, the celebrities will also face public voting that will reveal some of the favorites in the special group.
The publication reports that a US version of the series will air on Fox in June, while the UK version will be next year.
It is believed that Star Trek actor William Shatner will join the Fox series across the pond in a few months.
